What does 107% mean? Does it mean people who should have registered elsewhere registered in Nairobi or there are more new registered (new IDs etc) voters than was estimated?


The target itself was based on an estimation!!!!

...what figures are they using to know the total number of potential voters in a region..lets say nyanza 70% of the guyz have registered,how do they know what 100% is...


From the census results, IEBS estimated the number of people elligible to vote in every county, that's how they set their targets!!!

IEBC looked at the latest census 2009? I think and from that projected the approximate population over 18 years old(Minimum voting age.That is what they are basing the %s on. Nairobi has gone over the estimates.

Compare the above with the following sample sizes by provinces in the last Ipsos Synovate Polls

Rift Valley - 399 - 25%
Nairobi - 170 - 10%
Central - 213 - 13%
Eastern - 243 - 15%
Western - 166 - 10%
N. Eastern - 77 - 5%
Nyanza - 213 - 13%
Coast - 144 - 9%
TOTAL Sample size - 1,625 - 100%

You will note how skewed their poll results are.

Seems people in NE who cannot authenticate their Kenyan-ness have taken cover.

They unregistered from this region should be followed up and smoked out and if they prove to be non citizens then returned to Somalia now that there is peace.

Looks ok to you? I guess you failed in your statistics if you ever came near such a class...lol

e.g. In Central province, Ipsos picked 213 people for the sample (13% of total national sample). That is 49 people less than what should have been picked... if they had used 16% they should have picked 262 instead of 213. That is 23% understatement of the sample size for the region and gives you a skewed total polls result. 23% is what they call significant statistically.
